vanthorne Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Hi all, Going to be a warm next few days and thought I would explore the new water play area at brockwell lido. Just wondering if it is located next to the kids playground at the opposite side of the park to the lido? Is the 37 still the best way to get there from east Dulwich? How are you finding it? Ok in the am before it gets too crowded? Any views appreciated as keen to try it.

bumpy Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Went today and yes busy but still fun. If you enter through main gates walk straight up the hill to the top and then turn right, sign directs you to paddling pool, follow the path round and down to the left and you'll see it at the bottom. Have fun. :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18754-brockwell-park-paddling-pool/#findComment-459749 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 We went on Saturday and it was lots of fun....we drove and parked on Brailsford Road near one of the gatesIf you are getting the No 37 I recommend getting off at the stop just before you turn right at Carper Right towards Brixton...(i.e a few stops on from the Lido) I think that entrance to the park is probably the closest to the paddling poolsBring a bucket/water container for your little ones to fill up from the tap/springs Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18754-brockwell-park-paddling-pool/#findComment-459751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanthorne Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Thanks very much for this info. This will really help for tomorrow. Good tip on the parking indiana...as wasnt sure if it was all resident only parking (like the other side near the lido...sounds like they are less strict that side of the park). Also good to know which end of the park it is if we do the bus. Cheers guys.

BeccaL Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Do double check on parking if driving as there are a lot of traffic wardens about that area and they're pretty hot on ticketing people.

vanthorne Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Yes - I agree those traffic wardens are ruthless- I was back late by 6min once due to a disaster nappy when at the lido recently and got stung for 40quid- ouch. They had not even printed the ticket when i arrived ( but apparently had submitted the details) so they said they could not reverse it! Anyway that's another topic for a thread on this discussion board .... Cheers for warning though- can't let our guard down.

anna_r Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 We were there on sunday too... Must have been a crowd of edf-ers passing each other in the paddling pool :) it was our first time and agree it was loads of fun. The fountains at myatts fields are brilliant too.
